The Broncos weren't going to do the deal if we didn't.

Well why did they offer a 7th if not?

Thank you, Hurney.  But to be fair, we can't lay Luke's dead cap at Hurney's feet.  Other than that, well done, Marty, well done...

That was probably what we were asking.

They wanted us to take on part of his salary and were willing to move up to a sixth.

 Grier is really good, just needs development. 

???  Started the draft party drunk blogging a little early, have we?

Because Carolina carrying salary was almost assuredly always a mandatory condition, even if the dollar amounts varied at varying times. Denver 'compromised' by moving up from a 7th to a 6th. That contract value was unpalatable to anyone in its current-year value.

It's kind of like with the Rams and Lions did with Goff (on a far lesser scale).

There had long been speculation that we were going to have to do something like this to move Bridgewater because his contract was terrible.

Good for Teddy.  Good for us (fans) 

I think the whole Teddy experiment is a knock on our front office though.   From start to finish.  

It was a mistake and they’re not perfect. It’s not the mistake so much as the recover. They learned quick this was a no go and moved on as fast as humanly possible, that’s important to remember.

No way in the deep depths of hell would JR ever of moved on so quick and risk losing a single cent, dragging it on and on for dear life at the expense of the team and fans. We’ve seen it plenty players and coaches.

The mistake (start) sucked but I disagree, the change of pace (finish) is very nice.

Teddy has fans? I was under the impression that anyone stanning for Teddy around here was just one of his alts.

According to Michael Silver, it was originally going to be a seventh.

The Broncos bumped it up to a sixth to convince the Panthers to pay part of his salary.

Wow...well time to move on
